- The SAFE instrument provides a VAT exemption with the right to deduct input tax for defense-related supplies funded by SAFE.
- To apply the exemption, suppliers must have a completed and stamped exemption certificate, which can be delayed due to administrative procedures.
- Previously, missing the certificate by the VAT declaration deadline meant applying the standard 23% VAT rate with no later correction possible.
- New tax guidance from March 9, 2026, allows suppliers to correct VAT after receiving the certificate by issuing a corrective invoice, offering a more favorable mechanism than for NATO-related supplies.
